Up at 10:30, give or take five?  Down at 23:37, I looked and remembered last night.  It was 77 up there, when I tucked in, at both thermometers, with two fans and an ac running.  Through the night, near me, it got to 75.  But was cool enough I needed not just one, but two blankets.  Initially I couldn't use one.  Then I was forced into that.  But it, in time, was not enough.

When I woke this morning, the thermostat closest, and down by me, read 75 still.  The other one read 72?  Strange, but okay.  Downstairs is reading 75 everywhere, inside.  And outside is reading 78, with complete overcast.  From what I can see, 100% cloud cover, and thick stuff.  Humidity is up to 44 form "Lo" last night, so... it could rain.  No guarantees.  And this time of year?  But, things aren't what they used to be.

I didn't do any more work upstairs.  As was, I crawled to bed, when I finally could, and tried to sleep.  It was difficult, being 77.  Initially even that was a bit warm.  I suppose until my body cooled.  The shower didn't really do all that much, but at least I was clean.

Breakfast?  I'd sure like something to eat.  I think I have a remaining pork chop.  That and eggs.  I don't want to mess with the flattop grill quite yet, or much else.  Though cooking eggs might be okay.

Not really ready to get to work.  Though, when I do, I will be the boxes.  Trying to finish those while it is still cooler.  Though I might get the blankets and what else goes out, out to the line, and set up a load of towels.  If it rains, it rains, I'll deal with that when it happens.  Oh, and I could set up dishes, for a later run.

How much can I do today?  I'm not in too bad of condition, just a bit groggy.  Not sore, my shoulders are better.  Hips stopped hurting nearly completely the day after they started hurting.  Back is good, sometimes a lot of work at once can cause that a problem.  No, not even an headache.  

Something to eat, though.  Easier the chops and eggs.  Those will be lunch or a late lunch.  I am thinking chia cereal, along with a few ounces of nuts.  And, then, a fatted coffee.  A dose of protein to go with it.  Life is pretty good.  Not sure I can work as hard as yesterday, as I am groggy and sluggish.  But I think I can keep working and get some things in again today.  And, maybe a lot more than I currently suspect.  I'll sure give it a shot.

Let me see, what all is still on the list?  Clearing and straightening the floor and work table upstairs, then vacuuming and dusting with diatomaceous earth and baking soda.  Tearing down boxes, and maybe getting those into the back of the suv for disposal the next time I am in town.  A couple of loads of laundry and one of dishes, plus putting away any dry dishes.  Sorting through boxes and items in the living room and spare bedroom.  Stowing the mattress and boxsprings in the spare bedroom, and putting the base up.

There is always more.  Perhaps finding the hose for the flattop, in order to use a 20# tank, instead of the little ones.  And getting that going.  Tightening the clothes line, now that it has been stretched again.  Chores, which will happen regardless, the refilling the waterers brought in.  Oh, and two more things... perhaps getting a bag of cement wetted and ready, and into a dip in the driveway... smoothed and set, as well as checking on the jack, to see if I can adjust it to work.  Now, with the driveway, I'll want to bring the suv out so that I don't have to drive over the cement while it is drying.  Annoying, but...  With it potentially raining today, I'll skip the cement work.  And, some of the other efforts may be stalled for same.

First though, something to eat.  Then we'll see.  Later.
